and learn about the funeral traditions of the Vazimba (the first inhabitants of Madagascar).
Small Tsingy: We start with this easy introduction to the Tsingy of Bemaraha. The short circuit passes
through a labyrinth of limestones and its access is relatively easy via walkways and iron ladders and
small bridges. While the pinnacles were steep, they are not too high. We can observe them over from
two viewpoints. We have some good chances to spot the Decken’s sifaka and red-fronted brown lemurs.
